King County Superior Court Creates Electronic Records

The King County Department of Judicial Administration/Superior Court Clerk is now scanning documents as part of a multi-phase project. When documents are filed, they are scanned and the electronic image is indexed to the case number. The electronic version of the document then becomes the "official" court record. Use of the paper file will continue during this phase of the project. A future phase of the project will allow members of the public to access the images electronically in the Clerk’s office. For more information, contact Paul Sherfey at 206-296-9300.
